Line progression and possible hook effect ????

Ok I’m not posting to hear “stop testing” or anything along the lines of that. Let’s be real, I won’t be stopping until I know my baby has a heartbeat. Period.

I am now 6weeks and 3days.

I’ve been testing almost every day. With cheapies. My test lines have been getting darker, and so dark in fact that they have been stealing dye from the control line. (Darker year line than the control line) and the control line keeps getting lighter. Good signs.

Today I woke up and my test line was still dark but they were the same colour. That got me worried so I filled the cup with technically my “second morning urine” and it was concentrated not watery or diluted urine. I took two more tests out and as I waited for the second test, I diluted my pee with some water and put another test in.

Picture below for reference.

You can clearly see that my first test the control line is not as light as the other two. And definitely not as light as the last test which I had watered down my pee.

Anyone else have this happen?

I feel like this is a good thing. Meaning my hcg is still going up and that baby should still be growing in there.

(I suffered a stillbirth, my daughter was born sleeping October 6th 2020 and I had faint positives for this pregnancy, thinking I ovulated late and that’s why baby was measuring smaller at my first ultrasound, thankfully grew a week in 9 days after at my second ultrasound, just hoping for good results at this next one!!!!!!)
